Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 425 Arriving At The Kingdom

Mike approached Shin with a steady gait, his eyes fixed on him as he walked past Orion, whom he had given a quick pat on the head.

Orion longed to hear that he could finally return to the kingdom and be pardoned from his exile.

Before he could even utter a word about his exile, Mike ran up to Shin and grabbed his paws, exclaiming, "Master Shin!"

He checked his surroundings a couple of times, but there were no signs of thunder or lightning.

'Safe...'

"Your request has been approved, Master Shin," announced Mike with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Huh? Do you mean-"

"Indeed, the council of elders has granted their approval for your entry into the kingdom," Mike conveyed to Shin.

"I am grateful for the offer, but I have decided to go with the Frost Dragon to his place," Shin replied with a smile.

"I think I shall accompany him…"

As soon as Mike heard that Shin had chosen to go with the Frost Dragon, he realized that he had to act fast.

He knew that the elders would not take kindly to being rejected in favor of another, regardless of the other's power and abilities.

Since nobody else inspired similar dread except Wolf God Shin.

Hence, Mike promptly revealed his trump card.

Mike revealed a tempting offer to Shin, "The elders have agreed to grant you the Crown of Fire if you choose to come to the kingdom."

Shin was taken aback by the sudden mention of the "Crown of Fire". Though he had no idea what it was, the name alone was intriguing enough.

Shin's curiosity piqued when he heard Mike mention the Crown of Fire. However, the Frost Dragon seemed to react to it with unease, as his eye twitched.

"What's the Crown of Fire?" Shin asked.

The Crown of Fire : It is a powerful artifact fashioned in the form of a regal headpiece. When donned, it can enhance all attributes associated with flames, magnifying one's explosive strength by 50%, augmenting fire spell casting speed by 50%, and raising the temperature by a whopping 100%. Its fiery aura is said to be so intense that it can even scorch the air around it. It is a coveted treasure that has been sought after for generations by those who wish to harness its incredible power.

Upon hearing this from Mike, Shin became contemplative and began to weigh his options.

While going with the frost dragon seemed like the safer choice, Shin's initial plan was to seek shelter with the heavenly wolf family, making his decision even more complicated.

After contemplating, Shin decided to stick with his original plan of seeking refuge at the heavenly wolf family's place, as Kira had suggested earlier.

Shin expressed gratitude for the offer but decided to stick with his original plan and head to the heavenly wolf family. However, he made it clear that it was only a temporary arrangement. He conveyed this to the frost dragon through telepathy.

The frost dragon felt a pang of disappointment as he had been looking forward to having someone to talk to without any restrictions.

The frost dragon had found in Shin a rare companion with whom he could converse freely and without fear, unlike most others who approached him with hesitation and trepidation.

'I'm not sure, I could be making the wrong decision here...'

The frost dragon's gaze lingered on Shin, a hint of sadness evident in his eyes. Nevertheless, he knew he had to respect Shin's decision.

Forcing him to come along would only strain their relationship, and the frost dragon cherished the rare opportunity of having a genuine conversation with someone.

So, he opted to drop the issue.

The frost dragon requested, "Promise me you will visit me in the future." Shin smiled in response and left, heading towards Mike.

"Okay Mike, I agree to your proposal. Let's leave immediately."

Clutching his hand tightly, Mike displayed a symbol of triumph.

"Just a second.", Mike turned to his left as he drew a circle in mid air, seconds after which a portal opened up.

This particular skill made it possible for him to travel swiftly and efficiently from one location to another.

As Mike spoke about the portal leading to their kingdom, he was interrupted by Orion, who held onto him, halting his movement.

Mike was taken aback as Orion grabbed him and stared intently. "You didn't actually plan on leaving me behind, did you?" he questioned Mike.

"Of course I didn't. You're coming with us," Mike replied without hesitation.

Despite momentarily neglecting Orion, Mike remained mindful of his responsibility to bring him back to the kingdom.

With a smile, Mike reassured Orion that he hadn't forgotten about him and that the elders had granted permission for their return. Then, Orion took Mike's hand and the trio stepped into the portal, with Shin going first, followed by Orion and Mike.

For a brief moment, they were plunged into darkness as they traveled through the portal. But as they emerged on the other side, they were met with the glittering glow of the full moon, casting a silvery sheen across the landscape.

As Shin stepped out of the portal, he was struck with awe, the stunning sight before him leaving him speechless.

"How on earth was this constructed?" Shin muttered under his breath, taking in the magnificent sight before him.

As he approached the colossal city that was under the rule and domain of the Heavenly Wolf Family, the sight of the vast gate came into view.

It was a formidable structure, adorned with a multitude of gleaming gems that seemed to radiate with a hypnotic glow, catching the sunlight and creating a dazzling display of colors. The gems, strategically placed all over the gate, looked like an impregnable barrier that could withstand any attack.

The kingdom was shrouded in invisibility, beyond the sight of any ordinary creature. However, with the power of his All-Seeing Eyes, a gift even the Supremes lacked, he effortlessly penetrated the veil and beheld the grandeur of the realm before him.

The gems that had been embedded into the gate exuded a strange aura - not as overpowering as the energy that emanated from the Frost Dragon, but rather a more subtle presence that drew Shin's notice without any adverse effects.

Mike uttered a few words and simultaneously displayed a peculiar symbol that materialized as a hologram from his left wrist, before mouthing the command, "Open up!"

As the symbol expanded in size, reaching almost half the height of the gate, two humanoid shapes emerged from within, instead of the expected opening of the gate.

They proceeded to walk directly through the gates, as if the barriers didn't exist.

Shin was caught off guard, his eyebrows furrowing in surprise.

'Did they just...?'' he trailed off, unable to finish his sentence as he tried to comprehend what he had just witnessed.

Without a chance to collect his thoughts, the human-like beings suddenly materialized before Shin's eyes. Though their physical features were similar to those of humans, they possessed an unusual characteristic - their hair was a striking white hue. Their eyes had ordinary black pupils, but their skin was as pale as snow.

"Welcome, Mike", one of the two figures, whose appearance had been described earlier, including the white hair and pale skin, spoke up, greeting Mike. The only distinguishing feature was the long white beard that flowed down his chin.

As the beings welcomed Mike, their eyes drifted towards the young Orion, who stood beside him. Shin couldn't help but notice the intense disdain and hostility in their gaze, indicating that Orion was regarded as an individual of questionable standing, if not a criminal.

Observing the scornful looks that were directed towards the dejected Orion, Shin couldn't help but feel sorry for Orion. 'Seems like Orion won't have an easy time here,' he thought to himself as he noticed the young man's guilty expression and drooping gaze.

"Please open the door," Mike requested politely.
